To allwhom it may concern: ants of the royal line are shown in redlines.

At the lower right hand corner is a rectangle 1Q containing adiagrannnatic depiction of Babylon and leading from rectangle 1,Jerusalem, is double dotted tred) line 1B extending to circle 14containing number 36. Printed on the line 13 is J ehoiakim, the name ofthe person, and the arrow designates the direction of his journey, a'.e., from Jerusalem toward Babylon. The number 3G in circle 1-1tindicates the chapter containing an account of this journey. It will beunderstood that the numeral 36 in circle 14 refers to 2 Chin, which isthe book in which this journey is described. The triple line 15extending from rectangle 1 at Jerusalem to circle 33 at Babylon containsthe printed word Manaehf The triple line indicates that this kingtraveled from Jerusalem toward Babylon and returned to J erusalem. Anaccount of this is given in book corres ending to 33.

In tie upper left hand corner is a rectanglo 16 containing the names ofthe Kin s of Israel and the years that they rei ned. his rectangle isconnected by black otted lines 17 with circle 12 and indicates a chapterwithout travels.

At the left of the device is printed at 18 an explanation of the method,the same being continued at the right, but broken away in the drawingherewith. Thus the present ma relating to lesson 7, is explained as folows:-

History of the twenty Kings of Judah (including last ten royaldescendants not in O. T. IIistory)-Books Samuel, Kin andllironicles.-Period 2000 to L1004 sshers 1 t amuel 8. Shows the ill'udglnent of Samuels two sons at Beersheba caused Israel to want a kinglike other nations. Follow black dotted lines north to 1 Sam. 10. AtMizpah, Saul the Benjamite (not of royal blood) is made first King ofIsrael, but is later rejected by Creator for not killing the accursedAmalekites. Follow black dotted line south, then east to l Sam. 10.

Thus may be seen and followed, from first to last event, a connectedunbroken line of historical outlines, as recorded in the Bible, or bookin question, from one locality to another in consecutive order.

In order to guide the student from one Ooplel of this patent may beevent to the next succeeding event, so that the historical order will begiven in proper sequence, I provide arrows, as shown, leading from placeto place on the map. Thus the )resent section is begun at circle 10 atthe iiottom of the map. Following the direction of the arrow, the nextcircle reached contains 1 Sam. 10; from here the arrow points south tocircle containing 1 Sam. 10. Vhere the lines near Jerusalem at thecenter, they necessarily come close together, and although at this pointare more dilicalt to follow even with the arrows, reference to theprinted descriition in t-he margin makes the 'direction clear. From 1Sam. 16 the arrow leads to 1 Sam. 1T and from 1 Sam. 17 at Valley ofllah the arrow leads to 1 Sam. 17 shown north of Jerusalem and from 1Sam. 17 leads to l Sam. 19, the latter travel being a triple line, andhence is to be retraversed from l Sam. 19 to l Sam. 21 via. l Sam. 1T,as indicated by the arrow. rl`he events are also briefly comprehcnded byau illustration of same, right on the locality where the said eventoccurs. For example, see a picture of a golden calf in Dan and Bethel onmap; rneaninr that the King Jeroboam there set up idblatry to preventIsrael from returning to Jerusalem, etc.

The device thus at a glance shows the map of that part of the earthwhere events occur; the locality on the map; the travels of charactersin uestion; the chapters of corresponding written history; the printeddescription of each chapter' to correspond; the names and right order ofroyal generations; the ri ht order ofconsecutive history; the rigitorder of consecutive books or chapters of history, and the right orderof consecutive events and localities shown in addition to above by anillustration of said events.

W'hat I claim is:

An educational device to graphically represent events described in abook comprising.'- a map having different kinds of travel lines printedthereon to indicate respectively the ourneys of different people, saidimp having illustrative fiffures thereon to and fron which the travelIines lead and which indicate Where events occurred and referencecharacters associated with the illustrative. figures and havingreference to the part of the book where the events are described.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles,California., this 22nd day of October, 1012.
